Kelvin to RGB & DMX Converter

Convert a color temperature (1000–10000 K) to sRGB, HEX, and DMX channel values for RGB, RGBW, and RGBWW/CW fixtures.

Convert Kelvin to RGB and DMX values

Dial in a color temperature and get the matching sRGB values, HEX code, and DMX channel values for your fixture type.

How to use the Kelvin to DMX converter

  1. Drag the slider or type a Kelvin value (1000–10000 K).
  2. Select your fixture type: RGB, RGBW, or RGBWW/CW.
  3. Read the color swatch and description for the selected temperature.
  4. Copy the DMX channel values for each channel.

Notes

Color temperature and light quality

Lower Kelvin values produce warm amber tones. Higher values produce cool blue-white light. Standard tungsten is 3200 K; daylight is around 5600 K.

RGBW white channel

For RGBW fixtures, a portion of the light is shifted to the white LED for higher efficiency and better accuracy at near-white temperatures.

Warm white / cool white mixing

RGBWW/CW fixtures blend warm (2700 K) and cool (6500 K) white LEDs using mired-space interpolation for accurate colour temperature control.

RGB approximation

Pure RGB fixtures approximate colour temperature through channel mixing. Accuracy is limited compared to dedicated white channels.
